FAQs

Yes. Metro (M01) has been listed on the Singapore Exchange since 2000, in the Department Stores industry, and Indian residents can buy it through Paasa. You fund the account from your Indian bank under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the money is converted to US dollars and then to SGD. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers, segregated from Paasa's own assets.
How much does one Metro share cost in rupees?
One Metro share is S$0.39 — about ₹29 at an SGD/INR rate of 74.94 on 25 Sep 2026. Both the Metro price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.
What are the LRS and TCS rules for buying Metro from India?
Remit up to $250,000 per financial year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). Banks collect 20% tax at source on LRS remittances above ₹10 lakh in a financial year; the TCS is adjustable against your income-tax liability. FX and the LRS declaration are handled by your bank when you fund your account.
How are gains on Metro shares taxed in India?
Singapore does not levy capital gains tax on the sale of shares, ETFs or REITs, so the tax is an India-side one. Gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%. Gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is computed in rupees using the SGD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Metro price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Metro pay a dividend, and how is it taxed in India?
Yes. Metro pays a dividend and the current yield is 5.13%; the last declared dividend was S$0.02 per share, about ₹1.50. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Singapore levies 0% withholding tax on dividends from resident companies. Paasa's dividend report lists the gross dividend and any tax withheld for each payment.

Is there estate or inheritance tax on Metro shares held from India?
Singapore imposes no estate or inheritance tax on listed securities.
Are there transaction taxes when buying Metro?
Singapore levies no stamp duty or transaction tax on listed equities.
Do I have to declare Metro shares in my Indian tax return?
Yes. Foreign shares held on 31 March must be reported in Schedule FA of your Indian income-tax return. Paasa gives you a Schedule FA-ready statement listing your Metro holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Metro and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (6:30 am – 2:30 pm IST) and the proceeds settle in SGD in your Paasa account. From there you can hold the balance, reinvest, or repatriate. Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name. Whether the sale is short- or long-term is decided by the 24-month holding period.
